BLACK MASS (usa) "Black Mass Bootleg" 1988 demo

BLACK MASS (usa) "Black Mass Bootleg" 1988 demo

Now THIS is obscure. They're not even listed in the Metal Archives. This is a U.S. band called Black Mass. I got this from writing the band in 1988. It's basically a collection of demo recordings onto a cassette. I wrote them after seeing them in some mag in '88, and got this tape. I don't even know what State they are from (I can't remember). It's excellent dark power metal, with one song being thrashier & heavier, and the last song is sell-out crap. But it's really killer rare obscure 80's style metal with that certain aura to it. And it seems to be near impossible to find anywhere else.
